Mystery men identified

Within hours of the disappearance of flight MH370, investigators began to hone in on two men who boarded the plane using stolen passports.

Today, their identities were revealed.

Pouria Nour Mohammad Mehrdad, 19, and Delavar Syed Mohammad Reza, 29, are both from Iran. They traveled from Iran to Malaysia using their own passports, then switched to stolen Austrian and Italian documents.

Interpol secretary general Ronald Noble issued a photo of the pair to media this morning.

However, he said the discovery was not a breakthrough. Information uncovered about the men made it seem less likely that terrorism was behind the plane's disappearance, he said.

Military tells new story on jet's final location

The massive search effort for flight MH370 has focused for days on a 100 nautical mile area off the coast of Vietnam.

Today, Malaysia's air force chief, General Rodzali Daud, revealed search teams may have been looking in the wrong place.

He said information gleaned from military radar differed from that recorded by civilian authorities.

It had tracked the plane to Pulau Perak, near the Strait of Malacca, before losing track of it at about 2:40am.
